2.6 Preconfiguring the VENICE Client Software
The VENICE client software can be preconfigured for often recurring
tasks so that operators are not required to do this time and again during
their work. It is up to the management/administrator to decide how de-
tailed this preconfiguration should be. They have to prepare the files
and the operator has to act accordingly.
The VENICE client software offers various files that can be used for a
preconfiguration and they are described in this section. All files can be
saved and loaded whenever required.
2.6.1 Presets
Via presets you can easily set up the VENICE client software for often
recurring tasks, such as records from a particular device in a certain file/
video format or play-outs of prepared VENICE playlists in a particular
format. Presets store the complete layout of the software (e.g. opera-
tion mode and state of the user interface) as well as the configuration
settings, i.e. they store everything but content (e.g. IP addresses, clip
names, paths, or other presets).
These files are normally stored locally where the VENICE client software
is running, but can be transferred easily between systems by copying/
moving their files and can then be used immediately.
Presets can be created and administered with the items below the chan-
nel connection settings at the top of the user interface:

tions as a preset to a file.
